Because by renting as little apartment as I can get away with, I: - Leave more money in the bank. - Get to maintain a positive net worth. - Am much more free to move if I need to. - Don't have to worry about sudden, large, unpredictable repair costs. - Can demonstrate that I have learned something from watching the preceding generation recently get taught a very brutal lesson about the dangers of habitually buying as much as you can afford.
